Classic Black and White

"Strange and unlikely" are one of my favourite combinations when it comes to fashion! I bought this gorgeous fringed vest because I found it flirty, fun and full of potential... And when it came to actually wear it I thought: Why not add something completely opposite like a white bow blouse with balloon sleeves?The fringed vest recalls the Seventies trend (so in fashion this year) and the white bow blouse, on the other corner of this year trends spectrum, with the neo Victorian. I added a pair of black culottes and my over the knee suede boots also in black. I wanted to keep the "Black and White" spirit of the outfit but I also wanted to "twist" it a little bit by adding the fringe, culottes and my kitten heeled boots. It's easy to update a classic black and white combo: just add unlikely pieces and have fun with fashion!

As for accessories I'm wearing my black varnish cube clutch, a velvet skinny scarf and my new ear cuff. I wanted to keep the accessories simple because this outfit was already busy. And I just love velvet: it gives a look of luxury and opulence to any outfit.

When it comes to a classic look, I dare ask: is it classic, that classic?You could think that when someone says: "I'm wearing a classic black and white outfit", there is not much to say or add.... but I don't agree! You can bring "Black and White" from classic to edgy by adding unconventional pieces or accessories like in this look! Does it look bad?
